Gu An'an was also waiting.
Waiting for Jiang Yong'an's reply.
If the iron mine is not in Jiangjia Village, then we can only start with the treasure map, which may be more troublesome.
So she waited for news from there, hoping for good news as soon as possible, so that she could finally put her mind at ease.
However, good news always comes late.
In June, Xiao You finally mentioned to her, "I found it."
When asked where it was, Xiao You didn't know either.
However, it was good that she could find it, so Gu An'an didn't ask any more questions.
There are some things that are better left unknown.
With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Gu An'an didn't really think about where that weight would end up. She wasn't that interested in rebellion, since feudal dynasties were still family-run and their insufficient productivity meant they couldn't change the social structure.
This is not a problem that she can solve on her own.
Gu An'an didn't think she could become the little butterfly that changes the world. She couldn't trigger the butterfly effect; she was content to do what she could.
However, after she had been busy for only a few days, a distinguished guest from the capital suddenly arrived.
This disrupted Gu An'an's rhythm for a time.
Fu Lingshu's arrival was quite sudden. This once disfigured noblewoman from the capital had finally married Lin Zixing as she had wished.
This put Gu An'an in an awkward position, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Fortunately, she was in Anzhou Prefecture, while Fu Lingshu lived in the capital. The two had nothing to do with each other, so Gu An'an felt it was alright.
But now that Fu Lingshu has suddenly come over, what kind of trouble is she going to cause?
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not going to eat you."
Although he doesn't eat people, Fu Lingshu is even more terrifying than man-eating monsters.
Whether it's a man or a woman, once they harbor evil intentions, they can be deadly.
"Mrs. Fu, you've come all this way just to comfort me? I'm truly flattered."
Upon hearing this, Fu Lingshu's expression changed slightly, and after a while, she spoke, "Madam Gu is as sharp-tongued and unforgiving as ever. No wonder she is so likable with such a personality."
That's not a nice thing to say.
Gu Anan quietly looked at the person sitting there without saying a word.
Fu Lingshu finished her cup of tea but received no response. She looked at Gu An'an.
"I have two things to discuss with you. The first is that Jiang Cuicui is about to give birth, and I wonder if Madam Gu would like to visit her."
Jiang Cuicui and Lin San ended up together, which didn't surprise Gu An'an.
"Anything else?"
"There is another matter, that is, Princess Linglong has gotten into a little trouble, and I have been asked by Princess Linping to deliver a message."
Has something happened to Princess Linglong?
Gu An'an raised an eyebrow. "The princess is a member of the royal family. I'm afraid that in this world, only she will cause trouble for others. Who would dare to cause trouble for her?"
"The royal family is also divided into different ranks. For example, our Emperor is the first, and then there is the most favored Imperial Noble Consort and the imperial heir in her womb."
Gu An'an was taken aback. "Linglong offended the Imperial Noble Consort?"
"Yes," Fu Lingshu chuckled softly, "Don't you think this is pretty dangerous?"
That's not true.
The Imperial Noble Consort's merit in saving the emperor led Emperor Longqing to depose the Crown Prince and install the imperial heir in her womb as the heir apparent, which caused constant turmoil in the Great Ye Dynasty, with uprisings breaking out in various places.
If we're talking about the most prominent person in the Great Ye Dynasty right now, it has to be Imperial Noble Consort Lin.
Given Princess Linglong's personality, it's not impossible that she might offend Imperial Noble Consort Lin.
But this is a really interesting story.
"The Imperial Noble Consort is Young Master Lin's younger sister, born of the same mother. If you want to ask someone to intercede for you, wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask you or Young Master Lin? I don't know the Imperial Noble Consort."
Fu Lingshu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Yes, you don't know the Imperial Noble Consort, but she has heard of Madam Gu's great name and insisted on meeting you. Princess Linping originally wanted to come in person, but she is currently bedridden due to illness, so she could only ask me to convey this message."
As she said this, a slight smile appeared in Fu Lingshu's eyes. "What, even the fearless Madam Gu has moments of fear?"
This kind of low-level provocation is really pointless.
Gu An'an glanced at it lightly, "What if I don't go?"
Fu Lingshu seemed unsurprised by the reply she heard, “Then I can only say that the princess will have to suffer a little. It’s a pity that the princess trusts you so much, but it seems that Madam Gu doesn’t care about our little princess that much.”
Gu An'an just smiled when she heard this. Did she think that would make her change her mind?
"see a visitor out."
Fu Lingshu didn't expect Gu An'an's attitude to be so firm. She chuckled and said, "I live in the Taibai Restaurant in Anzhou Prefecture. If Madam Gu wants to talk to me, I'm always ready."
"Madam Fu is, after all, Mr. Lin's lawfully wedded wife. Her politeness towards me is truly flattering."
He was feigning flattery; his true intention was to mock Fu Lingshu.
The young mistress of the prestigious Lin family actually humbled herself like this; if word got out, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
Fu Lingshu, however, remained expressionless and left directly.
Gu An'an sat there, lost in thought about the conversation they had just had.
Princess Linglong offended the Imperial Noble Consort. Was it a genuine offense, or was it a setup?
"Master, you can't go."
Xiao You appeared out of nowhere; the tall girl's face was filled with worry. "That Imperial Noble Consort is very difficult to deal with, and she might have other intentions as well. If you go there, you'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."
She didn't eavesdrop on purpose; it's just that you always have to be wary of people from the capital.
“Princess Linglong is, after all, the emperor’s niece, and Princess Linping and he are like siblings. At most, he will give her a minor punishment as a warning. There won’t be any real harm.”
There are now uprisings in various places, and the Longqing Emperor is not senile. How could he possibly want his own backyard to be in turmoil, and would he want to cause pain to his loved ones and pleasure to his enemies?
It's just a matter of disciplining Princess Linglong; there won't be any major problems.
Haven't emperors always been strict with others but lenient with themselves?
Anyway, we can't go there; there's a higher chance of a trap.
"I know." Gu An'an wasn't stupid; she wasn't going to fall into this obvious trap. "But we still need to find out more about this. Do you have anyone in the capital? Go ask around and see what's going on."
"I know," Xiao You quickly replied, afraid that Gu An'an might suddenly have a change of heart and insist on going to the capital.
Fortunately, no.
Taibai Restaurant.
After settling down at the restaurant, Fu Lingshu was comforted by the wet nurse who was serving her, who saw her looking worried. "Actually, Madam doesn't need to worry so much. Gu An'an will go."
Fu Lingshu laughed when she heard this, "You're not Gu An'an, how do you know she'll go?"
The wet nurse froze, unsure of what to say.
Fu Lingshu chuckled softly, "I knew she wouldn't go. I knew it all along."
